  • Title: Factors influencing morbidity and outcome of equine ocular squamous cell carcinoma.
    Author: Schwink K.
    Journal: Equine Vet J; 1987 May; 19(3):198-200. PubMed ID: 3608956.
    Abstract:
    A retrospective review of 41 cases of equine ocular squamous cell carcinoma with follow up information for 33 horses is presented. An apparent prevalence in heavy horse breeds was identified. Age and sex distribution were similar to those previously reported. High recurrence (42.4 per cent) and low metastasis (6 per cent) rates were seen. Initial tumour location, primary treatment used, or patient case history had no apparent influence on final outcome. The willingness of owners to pursue with continuous treatment correlated with a high degree of success.
